AI Cough-Monitoring Can Change the Way We Diagnose Disease
How many times do you cough a day? Do you cough more when you’re indoors or outside? Or more often after you eat? Or at night? Chances are, your cough memory might not be that accurate. But all of that information about your coughing patterns could be an untapped resource to better understand your health. Coughs may be benign ways to clear a little extra phlegm, or they could be early signs of more serious conditions such as asthma, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), or even lung cancer. “In the era of precision health, it’s ironic that such a problematic symptom is simply unmeasured,” says Pet...

Vitamins: stop taking the pills
This article was corrected on 7 June 2013.

RIsk of Cancer in Patients with Medically Diagnosed Hay Fever or Allergic Rhinitis
ABSTRACT Data on allergic conditions as risk or protective factors for cancer are controversial probably because most studies have used self‐reported data on mixed groups of allergies in a case‐control setting. We define cancer risks in medically diagnosed hay fever/allergic rhinitis patients in a nationwide cohort study. A total of 138,723 hay fever/allergic rhinitis patients were identified from three Swedish health care databases and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated for subsequent cancers identified from the Swedish Cancer Registry. Overall cancer risk was not changed (SIR 1.03). For individual c...

Chronic respiratory diseases and lung cancer research: a perspective from the European Union
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are chronic diseases of the airways and other structures of the lungs. Major CRDs are asthma and respiratory allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), occupational lung diseases, sleep apnoea syndrome and pulmonary hypertension. Globally, they affect 1 billion people and account for 7% of all deaths worldwide (4.2 million deaths) [1]. Lung cancer adds to this number another 1.4 million deaths annually (2.4%) [2]. Of the communicable lung diseases, tuberculosis is by far the most important. In 2012, 1.3 million people were killed by tuberculosis and 8.6 million new cases re...

Lung Cancer and Exposure to Nitrogen Dioxide and Traffic: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: We found consistent evidence of a relationship between NO2, as a proxy for traffic-sourced air pollution exposure, with lung cancer. Studies of lung cancer related to residential proximity to roadways and NOx also suggest increased risk, which may be attributable partly to air pollution exposure. The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently classified outdoor air pollution and particulate matter as carcinogenic (Group 1). These meta-analyses support this conclusion, drawing particular attention to traffic-sourced air pollution. Citation: Hamra GB, Laden F, Cohen AJ, Raaschou-Nielsen O, Brauer...

From acid reflux to allergies, we reveal what's causing YOUR persistent cough
Most persistent coughs are caused by gastric reflux, which makes the upper airways hypersensitive. But some can be caused by asthma, a side effect of medication, an infection - or even lung cancer.

Take a Deep Breath? But 9 in 10 People Worldwide Live with Excessive Air Pollution!
This report provides fresh information on the region’s emerging environmental issues and it will help governments shape their future policy,” said UNECE Executive Secretary Christian Friis Bach.Other challenges discussed in the assessment include climate change, considered one of the largest threats to human and ecosystem health, and to achieving sustainable development in the pan-European region.“It is also an accelerator for most other environmental risks, with impacts affecting health through floods, heat waves, droughts, reduced agricultural productivity, exacerbated air pollution and allergies and vector, food a...

Abstract IA03: Genetic and non-genetic risk factors of pancreatic cancer
In the United States, incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer (PC) have remained largely unchanged since 1973. During 2005-2009, the incidence rate for Whites was 11.6/105 and for African-Americans, 15.2/105. Mortality rates were 10.7/105 for Whites and 13.8/105 for African-Americans. The 5-year survival has been 4-7% for decades. The absolute number of new cases and deaths due to PC has been increasing steadily since 2004 due to the baby-boomer generation reaching the risk window (where median age at diagnosis is 71 years). By 2030, PC will be the second most common cause of cancer mortality, after lung cancer....

Updated Global Estimates of Respiratory Mortality in Adults ≥ 30 Years of Age Attributable to Long-Term Ozone Exposure
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the potential magnitude of health benefits of air quality policies targeting O3, health co-benefits of climate mitigation policies, and health implications of climate change-driven changes in O3 concentrations, are larger than previously thought. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1390 Received: 17 November 2016 Revised: 19 June 2017 Accepted: 20 June 2017 Published: 28 August 2017 Address correspondence to C.S.

Residential Air Pollution and Associations with Wheeze and Shortness of Breath in Adults: A Combined Analysis of Cross-Sectional Data from Two Large European Cohorts
Conclusion: Exposure to PM and NO2 air pollution was associated with the prevalence of wheeze and shortness of breath in this large study, with stronger associations between PM2.5 and both outcomes among lower- versus higher-income participants. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1353 Received: 13 November 2016 Revised: 10 August 2017 Accepted: 14 August 2017 Published: 29 September 2017 Address correspondence to D.

Association between the Mutational Smoking Signature and the Immune Microenvironment in Lung Adenocarcinoma
Among other cancers, cigarette smoking is a risk factor for lung cancer and head and neck cancer [1]. Moreover, cigarette smoke plays a causative role in various other diseases including cardiovascular, respiratory, and autoimmune diseases; allergies; and transplant rejection [2].
